The official twitter account of the political thriller recently tweeted a photo which says, “A special message from the White House.”

It seems like Frank Underwood has finally won in his hostile takeover over the world’s most powerful man as the photo shows Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, and his wife Claire, played by Robin Wright, boarding a plane which looks like Air Force One.

Air Force One is the officially commissioned aircraft which carries the President of the United States.

Like the previous seasons, the third season of the House of Cards will have thirteen new episodes, streaming exclusively on Netflix.

Little is known about Underwood’s story in season three, but it will most likely focus on his duties as the new president and political challenges faced by the devious Frank Underwood.

“Since the first two seasons focused on his attempts at becoming the President, season 3 will likely show what Frank wants to do with the country and the world,” Hypable.com speculated.

Emily Kapnek, Selfie‘s creator and show-runner, announced on Monday that the remaining six unaired episodes will be available for streaming on Hulu.

The Warner Bros. Television comedy was canceled in November, with its seventh episode last broadcasting on the 11th. The show starred Karen Gillan and John Cho.

Kapnek took to twitter to inform fans that the first of the six unaired episodes will be released on Tuesday on Hulu, Hulu Plus and ABC.com. For the next five weeks, the remaining episodes will release, one for every week.

Selfie and Manhattan Love Story were part of an hour-long spot of romantic comedies on ABC. Both were cancelled with the latter being axed first.

Selfie opened up to a mediocre 5.3 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49. In the weeks that followed, the series failed to keep the attention of its few viewers, whose number shed by the week.

After Manhattan Love Story got the ax, ABC gave Selfie a bigger shot and doubled its originals on election night.

Hulu has been known for picking up unaired episodes of an ABC cancelled series before. In April 2013, Hulu gave James Van Der Beek and Krysten Ritter’s Apartment 23 a new home.

In a world filled with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry, “Marco Polo” is created on a base of the adventures of the famous merchant traveller in China. The character of Marco portrays Italian actor Lorenzo Richelmy, and actress Zhu Zhu will appear as the main female character.

Netflix definitely will have high expects for the series, since they poured over $90 million into the venture and hired directors like Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg to direct and executive produce the show.

The main trailer shows Marco Polo in a strange foreign land. You can get your first series impressions in the link below:

Penny Dreadful is a scary psychological thriller that includes the classic horror tales in a new drama for adults. This show claimed some of the most terrifying characters in literature, including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, continuing with Dorian Gray, as well as famous characters from the novel Dracula, lurking from the darkest corners of Victorian era in London, and became one of the most-watched and appreciated tv shows amongst the fans all over the world.

The first season filled with excellent acting of the main characters, and all controversies that followed them, the encounters with demons, vampires and other dark creatures, all of course accompanied with a lot of blood, left us waiting and impatient for the start of a second season and follow up to the next adventures.

Until now, as the blood appears to be moving once again, considering the fact that Showtime announces the first official picture from Penny Dreadful season two, along with a teasing that the two show stars, Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) and the ever haunting Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) are closer than friends.

“This season, Vanessa and Ethan face new challenges, and old enemies, and turn to each other for solace,” Penny Dreadful creator John Logan said. “Their intimacy grows as they are forced to confront their demons together.” John Logan, series creator and executive producer, says.

“We wanted the ‘Penny Dreadful’ action sequences to be appropriate to the piece, so our fights are barroom brawls; they’re really ugly and violent — it has the feeling of savagery,” added Logan.

This season, Vanessa and Ethan develop a deeper bond as the team, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), join forces to chase away the evil forces that threaten to ruin them.
At the same time, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the Monster (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all fighting battles of their own. Patti LuPone will guest star as a mystical character of an amazing importance in Vanessa’s past.

Helen McCrory returns as Evelyn Poole (a.k.a. Madame Kali), the provocative spiritualist who will pose a unique threat to our protagonists this season, along with Simon Russell Beale, who back as eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle. Additional guest stars include Douglas Hodge as a Scotland Yard detective; Sarah Greene as Poole’s mighty daughter, Hecate; and Johnny Beauchamp as a man with a singular past.

After 13 seasons of working on the show since its inception in 2001, talent show judge Randy Jackson is to end his association with Fox reality talent show American Idol… this time for good, apparently.

After announcing his departure at a similar point last year, Jackson ended up returning to the show replace Jimmy Iovine as a contestant mentor, as opposed to his more familiar judging position.

But it now seems as though one year of that reduced role is enough to satisfy him as he departs before the upcoming 14th season on the network. He had previously been a judge since the first season of the show alongside Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, but now only presenter and executive producer Ryan Seacrest remains from the original ‘cast’.

In an official statement on the matter, Jackson noted: “After 13 seasons, I felt now was the perfect time to leave American Idol. I’m proud to have been a part of a series that discovered some incredible artists and will go down in history as one of the most successful television shows ever. A true original, Idol started it all. Onto what’s next.”

American Idol’s production companies FremantleMedia North America and 19 Entertainment launched a joint statement, tributing: “Randy has been such an integral part of American Idol since day one, both as a judge and as a mentor. He’s provided great advice and support, shaping the success of so many Idols we have discovered over the years. We wish him all the best in his next chapter. Randy will always be part of our Idol family and we hope he’ll visit from time to time.”

Whilst American Idol moves on with its 14th season and an unusually 100% rate of judge retention from the previous season (with Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr sitting at the panel), Randy Jackson will look to find another job to fill the time now available to him, considering his home life is hectic enough:

In what is just becoming more of a daily occurrence rather than a surprise announcement, Netflix have revealed something new regarding their fast-growing slate of original programming, the latest designed to be a British series that is their jewel in…

The Crown will be designed as a series that tells the story of the life of reigning British and Commonwealth monarch Queen Elizabeth II (pictured), chronicling the key moments in her reign so far, primarily in the latter half of the 20th century.

Confirmed after six months of rumours, The Crown (inspired by the play The Audience) will initially show a 10-episode first season in 2016, with production coming from Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and Stephen Daldry (The Hours). Also executive producing will be Morgan’s co-producers on The Audience, Robert Fox, Matthew Byam Shaw, and Andy Harries, of Left Bank Pictures.

The show, like the play, will look at the Queen’s traditional role of having a weekly audience with Parliament, as well as the behind-the-scenes activity with political leaders at both Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street – as a backdrop to major events of the eras portrayed. The first season is confirmed as looking at the then-Princess Elizabeth, 25 years old in 1951, as she faces up to the declining health and eventual death of her father, King George VI, and in his gradual replacement as monarch begins building a relationship ‘domineering and war-hardened’ Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Claire Foy has reportedly been approached to play the lead role.

Netflix’s vice-president of original content, Cindy Holland, said of the format: “The Crown is storytelling that lives somewhere between television and cinema from Britain’s foremost chroniclers of modern politics, class and society. We are enormously proud to be the exclusive home of a series from Peter Morgan and Stephen Daldry that promises to fascinate and entertain audiences around the world.”

Morgan noted of his creation: “The Crown is not only about the royal family but about an empire in decline, a world in disarray and the dawn of a new era. I am beyond thrilled to be reunited with partners from film, theatre and television for this epic project and delighted to be working for the first time with Netflix.”

Left Bank Pictures’ CEO Harries added: “Queen Elizabeth II has reigned throughout a period of unprecedented cultural and political change and her influence as monarch has been universal. Peter is a writer at the height of his powers and Stephen Daldry is one of the most entertaining and original film directors in the world. The series will be hugely ambitious and surprising, and perfectly captures the changes and complexities of a post war world.”

Daldry, meanwhile, summarised: “Peter Morgan’s scripts turn a tumultuous period of history into a thrilling story on an epic scale; dealing with both intimate relationships and international affairs. I cannot wait to bring The Crown to life for a global audience on Netflix.”
